| Getting 4K with Classe SSP-800 Just use the TV inputs for your video sources and you will have full resolution. Run the Audio through the SSP-800 with HDMI eARC from TV and it will send the sound no matter what video source to the Audio Processor. I had this Classe SSP-880 an... | |
| Differences Between Folded Horn Speakers and Transmission Line Speakers +1 @erik_squires on the Transmission Line being competition to the usual front, rear or bottom ports. All extend bass. I learned a lot looking at PMC speakers about Transmission Line. They are touted as being tighter, less bloated bass compared... | |
| Satellite radio tuners I had a Polk dedicated XM streamer. Came with it's own antenna. It's gone now, XM for the car only with all the better resolution options inside. But I do still discover new music while driving on XM. I snap a quick pic and then look for it la... | |
| Need help with Aurender N20 Yes +1 on the Muon Pro Streaming Cable. I have that with the Muon Pro Streaming Filter (filter plus in / out Muon pro ethernet cables). I think Network Acoustics makes nice stuff. The last ethernet cable entering your streamer makes a big impact. | |
| Interim SS Amp - Likely Candidates? For value and quality, the best used Moon amp you can get for your budget. Consistent resale value. To me, more engaging than the Parasound. I have had both. The Moon 340i, one of their basic integrated amps, is a fine stand in, and holds its ... | |
| Bass management--high/low pass filtering While some choose to use a high pass filter to the main speakers with sub(s), I think there are many reasons to not. A lot of popularity with high pass filters comes from AVR surround sound, where there are Dolby settings in the AVR processor for... | |
| Recommend a good router/modem combo please Hi @kingbr So my digital front end evolved in many ways over about 7 years. I think it all matters and I heard incremental upgrades all along the way. Today I have a Verizon Modem, as I agree with some who have said don't fight this issue with... | |
| Recommend a good router/modem combo please BTW, I run both the modem and router from linear power supplies connected to a power line that is dedicated to my network gear and music server in a separate room, and only connected to my main system via a fiber optic line that feeds the Roon en... | |
| Need help with Aurender N20 The best AES or USB I have owned is Kubala Sosna. Elation is great. Realization is better. Network Acoustics Muon came close. | |
| Best Match/Best Synergy? +1 @996turbo911 ! | |
| Best Match/Best Synergy? Well if your budget is under $20 I think the Amazon cables look pretty. Otherwise, +1 on what @soix said! | |
| Is it possible to find a good DAC for under $50, 000? +1 @kennyc ! | |
| Whole home audio - wired or wireless? One final comment on Sonos. Glitches and drop outs WERE issues. The older Connect modules etc had issues. The new ERA 300 are way better, both in sound and connectivity. Easy to try: buy a Sonos Era 300 from Crutchfield. Easy free returns if... | |
| Connecting stereo to outdoor speakers Hello, been there and done all that with wires going outside from main stereo... Too easy now and sounds great: JBL Boombox. https://www.crutchfield.com/p_109BMBOX3B/JBL-Boombox-3-Black.html wireless bluetooth from you phone, can play anything ... | |
| Whole home audio - wired or wireless? Hello @mattsca , I have had many iterations of whole house audio and can tell what worked best for me. In my office (business) I have distributed sound in most rooms with in ceiling speakers. They are all wired to a central location and any bas... |
